  • 11. Spot Traffic Analysis Auditorium seating is not popular Avatars prefer to walk rather than fly The majority of traffic is in the main corridor The second floor is getting high amounts of traffic There is little interest in the lobby Few people use the side exit
  • 12. One Avatar’s Journey This person spent lots of time near the ocean but never got their feet wet This person did not complete the airport exhibits Very little time at “Science on a Sphere” Do most avatars know they can swim? Out of sight, out of mind?
